Temperature Controller Manufacturers

Lake Shore Cryotronics has been the recognized standard in cryogenic temperature control for over 35 years. With thousands of satisfied users, today's Lake Shore controllers build upon the measurement and control expertise acquired by years of real, in the field experience. Robust designs, feature-rich models, and excellent customer service make Lake Shore controllers an excellent choice for almost any application.

A dual input controller compatible with most types of temperature sensors, the LSCI Model 325 features increased functionality over the model 321. This controller includes two independent control loops (25 W and 2 W) compatible with both 25 ohm and 50 ohm heaters. The model 325 features both GPIB and RS-232 computer interfaces for versatile computer control.

Cryogenic Control Systems, Inc. (Cryo-con) has been manufacturing high quality temperature controllers for several years. Although relatively new to the market, Cryo-con senior designers have many years of prior experience in the design and manufacture of cryogenic temperature controllers. Cryo-con controllers are noted for including advanced operating features at a moderate price.

The 9700 represents the first model in a new generation of SI instrumentation. It is a fully featured, dual sensor controller, and accepts silicon and GaAs diodes, along with RTD devices such as platinum (with optional module). Analog outputs for both channels are included, along with two relays configurable for NO or NC operation. A sophisticated autotuning algorithm can be used to accurately determine optimum PID settings, even in difficult systems such as cryocoolers operating near base temperature. The 9700 comes with a fully-featured GUI for remote operation.
